City Residents Prepared
The Square Mile has been subject to major incidents over many
years and the City of London has worked extremely hard to prepare
for all possible kinds of emergencies. It has developed numerous
plans and conducts regular exercises to test them. Schools,
non-profit organisations and businesses all have contingency plans
but are you prepared? The City can respond to incidents but only
you can prepare yourself and your household for emergencies. As you
read on you’ll see how easy it is to prepare.
Being prepared for any emergency – whether it is a household
fire, leak, power outage or terrorist incident – is as easy as
taking the precaution to carry an umbrella with you when you know
it might rain. Planning ahead is sensible practice. Take the time
to develop a ‘home emergency plan’, gather a few key essentials to
keep at home, and put a Grab Bag together. A few minutes invested
in these activities could save you precious time when you really
need it.
